MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, April 12 (PIA) --- The education department in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DepEd-ARMM) is banking on a fresh approach to appraise teaching proficiency and boost quality education in the region.
Called Teachers Assessment and Competency Exam (TACE), this method requires teaching applicants to undergo competency examinations, panel interviews and teaching demonstrations.
The applicants will be ranked based on their TACE results aside from passing the teachers licensure examination.
Dr. John Magno, DepEd-ARMM assistant secretary for operations, said this mechanism would ascertain that quality teachers will be hired for a regionally competitive ARMM.
“We would like to be at par with other region, we are in the right track and we would like to ensure quality education and we are starting with the proficiency of our educators in ARMM," he said.
DepEd-ARMM has already conducted series of competency exams to almost 500 teacher applicants from the provinces of Basilan, Maguindanao, and Tawi-Tawi.
“We are yet to finalize the schedule for Sulu which will definitely be conducted in Zamboanga City this May," said Mubarak Pandi, DepEd regional information officer.
He said TACE will serve as an equal opportunity for all applicants to cut away the ill practice of ‘palakasan’. (Bureau of Public Information-ARMM/APB/PIA-10)
